General liability rules vary from state to state when minors are involved, but they do tend to give children the same basic rights. This is true both for accidents caused by children and accidents resulting in the injury of a child. If a child is injured (in any US state) they are given just as much right to compensation as if they were an adult. All the same general liability rules apply to them as if it were an injury to an adult. The only real difference is that the minor will not likely be paying the medical bills. So the parent or guardian has their own right to seek a settlement for the medical expenses they paid on behalf of the child. A child is also able to claim damages for pain and...

This is a good year for drivers in California. Way back when in 1988, Proposition 103 received more than enough support from voters to pass. Basically, voters wanted car insurers to set rates based on the driver's record and the number of miles driven. Three years ago, the Commissioner for Insurance introduced new rules prohibiting the use of ZIP codes as the primary factor for determining car insurance rates. These rules came into force July 14. This is one battle won for consumers' rights. The war goes on. Zip codes remain a dominant factor in other states. Similarly, insurers also check out your credit score. Almost every company seems to think that people with low credit score make bad drivers...
Jobs In Law Enforcement
There are few jobs in the world as rewarding as a career in the criminal justice field. I remember when I first started. I was full of ideas and an attitude on how I was "going to change the world". I may have not changed the world, but I know that I have left a lasting impression on some misguided individuals. Before you decide to become involved with criminal justice I will go over some details of a few of the most common fields and from my observations from working in the profession. Deputy/Police Officer The up side of this career is that you come in contact with all kinds of people, and have the opportunity to impact their lives in a positive way.

The Other 10% Of Life Is Following Up
There is an old saying most often attributed to Woody Allen that "90% of life is showing up." Actually, it turns out that the number is somewhere between 75 and 90, depending on the recollection of the person reciting the quote, but either way, the balance of life is about following up. Allen's point is a good one. Just get involved, make the call, or introduce yourself. The results will astonish you. In fact, once you take the initiative, momentum alone can drive you toward your goal. Where many of us falter, however, is in the follow-up. We expect to be rewarded for our risk taking, not realizing that success is the product of both good ideas and great execution. That execution requires you to be...
Dog Bite Law: Los Angeles Police Dogs and...
Dog bite injuries inflicted by Los Angeles Police Department-owned canines can be especially difficult to try in court, depending on the specific circumstance surrounding the incident. California provides special protection to police departments against dog bite lawsuits, as long as the injury occurred during an arrest and it did not stem from the police officer's use of unnecessary force. However, the definition of "excessive force" can be subjective, depending on the victim's criminal record and the events surrounding the actual arrest. When the dog bite injury occurred outside of the circumstances of a properly enforced arrest, or outside of official police department duties, California laws...
Butting Heads Again...mayor Villaraigosa and...
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and the Los Angeles schools have had several run-ins over the past couple of years. Villaraigosa has been trying to gain control over the Los Angeles schools through both the legislature and the courts. Thus far, his efforts have been only marginally successful, having been given some control at the end of last summer. This latest drama has at its center a high school student called Zoner. This creative lad, who attends Santee High School, decorated a bus with graffiti in early March of this year. Unfortunately for Zoner, the mayor and Los Angeles schools Superintendent David Brewer were riding on the bus. Villaraigosa's solution to the situation was that the boy needed...
With official tourism office statistics showing a near ten per cent rise in visitor figures for 2007 compared to 2006, a long period of decline has been reversed for people taking holidays in Malta. From a dramatic position in 2006 when a major UK tour operator was considering withdrawing Malta from its brochures, not only has Malta increased the number of tourists visiting the island, but a British newspaper has included Malta in its top 20 places to visit - a real reversal in fortunes. The British newspaper decribed Malta as a holiday 'honeypot'. Malta has always been a likely spot for the British, with nearly all Maltese speaking fluent English - and like the British the Maltese drive on the left...

Divorce Mediation-a Mediation With Parties...
Parties wishing to resolve their divorce without family litigation can take advantage of family mediation. Divorce mediation can take place before you file in family court or after you've done so in a case where the parties will be representing themselves. Mediation is less formal than a court proceeding. The process itself is meant to give you control of the outcome. This means that a mediator, regardless of his or her professional background (lawyer, retired judge, etc) cannot make decisions for you nor can they give you legal advice on any issue. Once the parties have decided to use the mediation process, they simply choose a family mediator, contact the family mediator's office for information...

The Sing Sing prison is still there and has the capacity to house almost 2200 people, who apparently do not look very affectionately towards tourists. The marble in the city was transported by the convicts in the early days of the city's construction. In any case, the tourist attraction in the jail that was 'upstream' the river, finally led the town to open a museum in the Caputo Community Center, which is near to the high school in the town. The Sing Sing Museum is easily the best one all over the US. The Sing Sing museum is host to unique collections and is quite exciting and interesting to go through. Although the old custom of displaying pictures of prisoners while they are being tortured and...

California Ballot Measure Reducing Penalty for Non-Violent Drug Offenders Should Be a Model for the Feds. One measure on the ballot in California this year would reform the way non-violent drug offenders are treated by the criminal justice system.
